Understanding Icebergs and Buoyancy

What is the relationship between the buoyant force and the gravitational force acting on an iceberg?

• The buoyant force is less than the gravitational force.

• The buoyant force is greater than the gravitational force.

• The buoyant force and gravitational force are unrelated.

• The buoyant force is equal to the gravitational force.

According to Archimedes' principle, what is the buoyant force on an object equal to?

• The volume of the object.

• The weight of the object itself.

• The density of the object.

• The weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

How is mass related to density and volume?

• Mass is the sum of density and volume.

• Mass is the difference between density and volume.

• Mass is the ratio of density to volume.

• Mass is the product of density and volume.

What percentage of an iceberg is typically submerged underwater?

• 100%

• 11%

• 50%

• 89%

If you see an iceberg on the ocean, what fraction of it is likely visible above the water?

• 11%

• 50%

• 89%

• 25%
